packages

Sometimes one finds a package that looks very good and can help in some ways, but the package is not found in the repositories of Ubuntu or in any PPA site. Apart from creating a PPA, how and where can one suggest a package to be included to Ubuntu in a future or present version.

Some quick examples might be:

Komodo (Another alternative to Notepad++): http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/01/komodo-edit-the-best-notepad-alternative-in-ubuntu/

mkahawa (Cafe Management System): http://sourceforge.net/projects/mkahawa/

And many others that can help in making users use Ubuntu more.
